Phil Rowley is a good friend, stillwater fly fishing fanatic, and business partner. Phil and I have co-authored fly tying books and fly tying DVD's and conducted many seminars on the world of fly fishing in lakes. We developed the Stillwater Solutions line of fly tying materials and fish together whenever possible. Phil's website has a wealth of information on stillwater fly fishing, fly patterns, and fly fishing products.

The Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC delivers the provincial fish stocking program and is responsible for the marketing and promotion of freshwater sport fishing in the province. This website offers regional fishing guides, current and historic fish stocking records by region, links to purchasing your freshwater fishing license online and much more information on provincial fisheries resources.

Fly BC is a very popular online fly fishing bulletin board. All aspects of fly fishing in BC are covered on this website. It is a great venue for exchanging ideas on fly fishing tactics, fly patterns, information on specific rivers and streams, buy and sell, and discussion groups related to environmental issues affecting our sport.

Easily buy your freshwater license online. This is a website to register and purchase your freshwater fishing license, special license additions, and conservation stamps online. All that is needed is a credit card and a printer for printing the license.

Welcome

Welcome to my website and home to Riseform Flyfishing Ventures.

On my website, you will find information on some of the services I offer including guiding, seminars, and hosted trips. There is also a complete listing and description of the books and videos that I have written, co-written or produced that you can purchase online. You will also find informative articles on stillwater fly fishing tactics and the various insect emergences, and other invertebrate food sources that we fish.

Wet your appetite with these writings and try the wonderful fisheries that exist in the southern interior region of BC!

Some of the best stillwater fly fishing opportunities anywhere exist in the Kamloops area. Highly productive, nutrient rich water and a long, warm growing season provide the perfect mix of ingredients to produce well-conditioned trout. The large number of lakes in the Kamloops area has enabled fisheries managers to offer a diversity of fishing experiences. There are lots of lakes with high populations of smaller fish that are perfect venues for learning how to fly fish and catch fish. At the other end of the spectrum are numerous quality-managed lakes that provide the opportunity to catch some large trout and even the biggest trout of your angling career.

There are lakes to fit every angler's interest and skill level!

In the near future I will be posting "how-to" videos on a variety of stillwater fly fishing subjects.
